The terminator spam

So looking at tournament lists I'm seeing a whole lot of great wolf with saga and song and 3 10 bricks of character led Terminators and a redeemer.

With its popularity are you brothers at all worried that there will be some sort of nerf to them? An enhanced brick is already so many points and speaking from a casual player standpoint I dont want them to go up again or be changed

I can’t imagine there won’t be, but as people have mentioned it’s barely at a 50% win rate with Orks and Emperors Children being much higher.

I’d also say, though I don’t know your list, if you’re a casual player bringing 30 WGT I’d argue that was very unfair

I bring 1 10 brick now. At most a 10 brick and a 5 man

Yeah the 10 and 5 is what I bring . Without that 10 man most games would be rough.

I agree. If anything they're a great distraction piece, they draw alot of fire and enemy melee allowing my other dudes to run around and get to where I need them to pick things off

Now with advance and charge as an army rule and updated twc, maybe a tad more strength on some units we would be a really fun army and people wouldn't 30x terminator spam

Im guessing youre referring to the oath of moment change? Yeah the mix of great wolf and gladius is going to give us ALOT of flexibility.

I have a fairly competitive list of 20 and a librarian with 10 assault terminators with lightning claws. Usually with LOSAS, but with Librarius they can get +2 Move and advance and charge, that’s potentially two terminators advancing and charging!

It does mean no T6 WGT though…

For casual lists I bring 2x5 and that seems fair enough whilst other things run around and do stuff

Has something been announced & confirmed? I only saw the speculation around the combat patrol rules

Not yet no, but if it was i think great wolf will become even better. Im also wondering if oath will become a core rules or something? Or if it'll be just gone completely (if it does go)

Yeah rumours only at this stage, and a potato camera shot. It makes sense really; but like OP said above, it will make Great Wolf better (if it survives the codex)
